Synthesis components

Bookend flipper. Likely known, but I’m posting it here because there’ probably a connection to a fast component.

Code: Select all

 x = 14, y = 15, rule = B3/S23

Edit: In addition, it doesn’t have good clearance.

For my 2100th post milestone, I come back to the thread where it would more possibly be well-received.

One week later and still nobody responding to the challenge...

Unlike the component above that creates tie block on table via direct addition, the following creates one by partial degradation: a 2-stage 5-glider synthesis component converting table on table to xs17_03jgf9z6221 (tie fishhook head) based on this soup:

The 2-glider interaction in the south is found by spark-search-python3.py, without which a length-3 induction coil akin to the house forms that can be easily stabilized as shown to the right. Later, I realize that a section from MathAndCode's fast component collection is relevant:

I think I've mentioned this before, but I'm definitely finding that usually it works much better to hunt for new components among the soups for rare objects that have showed up five or ten times in Catagolue, compared to objects that have appeared only once. The one-offs seem more likely to be large unlikely active messes that settle out, often very soon after T=0, or in some irreproducibly specific way.

Yesterday's xs37 was an exception to that rule. Thirteen gliders isn't particularly cheap, and quite possibly it can be made a little cheaper -- but it welds an entire xs20_4a9baiczxbd onto a table in one sudden blob.

-- Not that this is likely to be useful for anything any time soon:

Didn't that 14-bit object attached to the snake get discussed briefly, sometime in the last year or two, though? It looks like an outlined digit '1'.

For a variation of taste, let's look at synthesis components making small oscillators.

We are familiar with the 3-glider century converting ship to quadpole reaction, but then allowing some more gliders gives an extra tie boat (totaling 6 gliders) or ship (totaling 7 gliders), shown below transforming ship-tie to xp2_y3g8o652zxoga02z653 and xp2_y3g8o653zxoga02z653 based on this soup and this soup, respectively.

There's a similar but simpler natural component that accomplishes the same trick -- really just an incoming B-heptomino sabotaged in various ways:

Quite often these things can be dug up by applying the component to a cheap-but-unlikely-looking base still life, like a half bakery -- and then looking the resulting object up in Catagolue. This case is a good example of that trick; it currently shows the B-sabotage being triggered by a blinker instead of an incoming glider:

I'm not sure if I should submit the above variant as an "improvement" for the meta-R-half-bakery on cis-bookend syncthesis or not (same cost but one more stage, so less synchronization needed). Might as well, I guess. But it would sure be nice if there was an easier way to extract older variant recipes from Shinjuku, for cases where they're still needed.

Mine applies the component in a more “direct” manner.

It takes a little bit of hunting around in Catagolue to show that the initial 1G transformation is not new. Most small objects are cheap enough that they won't be produced by conversion, so there's a cheaper way to make xs15_69bojd than by building it from a scorpion, and there's a cheaper way to make xs17_g6t1qrz11 than by building it from block on bun tie bookend.

However, if you look far enough out into Improbable Still Life Land, you'll find xs23_6t1qrz116aa4, which has your 1G transformation at the far right. Remove the top right glider to see it without the synchronized 1G pond cleanup.

1G transformations are generally going to be well-known. Heinrich Koenig was writing scripts to crash single gliders into still lifes in every possible way, a couple of decades ago I think.

Another small reminder: posting just a chunk of RLE in threads like these ... is much less helpful than posting RLE with a short text description of what the pattern contains. Please try to remember to include the description, so that there's some hope of finding the pattern a year from now if someone is searching for it.

[hkoenig]

Yes. I did all the objects up to 17 bits, and didn't find much. Most of the one Glider conversions resulted in a smaller, more common object, which usually aren't of much use.
